Usually promoters are focused purely on money and clauses and so on, so this from Benn’s promoter Eddie Hearn is not the usual and atypical for boxing.
Rematches are what fans are calling for today after an amazing scrap this weekend in boxing.
Hearn however at the post fight press conference, per Boxing Kingdom on X, said:
“We need to think carefully about the rematch, because I don’t want to see Conor in too many fights like that. They are the kind of fights that will shorten your career and Conor has such a long career ahead of him.”
Surprising, you would have thought he’d be calling for the rematch straight away.
Let’s see what happens.
Some early talks suggest the rematch is being looked at for September, which is great, but ultimately that comes down to the two fighters.
